I just want to throw my interpretation in here three years later..
This song remains one of my favorites since it was released. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it based on all of the memories that I relate to this song. I don't think I can relate to the literal meaning, though.
I've always pictured it being about a he-she relationship in which he sees the "real" she and he doesn't necessarily approve of it. It may be her over-controlling manner, her willingness to void the obligations of a monogamous relationship, or other bad habits of which he does not appreciate. As much as he wants to stay together, and he tries; he can't help but be reminded of the things he does not like about her.
